January 13-16, Prague, Czech Republic

Overview

The CNTT (Common NFVI Telco Task Force) launched officially in June 2019. Its mission is to define a common NFV Infrastructure to simplify the development and deployment of virtualized and containerized networking applications for the telecom industry.  

GSMA and LF Networking are excited to announce that the next CNTT Technical F2F work shop is scheduled in Prague, Czech Republic. This meeting will be a great opportunity to advance the Reference Model work, continue to refine the Reference Architecture definitions, and address implementation considerations for OPNFV and the OPNFV Verification Program (OVP). This will be a hands-on meeting, so please come prepared to work and propose solutions.
